Item 8A. Controls and Procedures, page 15
1. We note your proposed revisions in respons e to prior comment 1. We note that
your disclosure controls and procedures were not effective so as to timely identify
correct and disclose information required to be included in your SEC reports.
Additionally we note that that your intern al controls over financial reporting were
not effective so as to timely identify, corre ct and disclose information required to
be disclosed in your SEC reports. The la nguage that is currently included after
the word "not effective" in your disclosu res appears to be su perfluous, since the
meaning of "disclosure controls and pr ocedures” and “internal controls over
financial reporting” are established by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 13a-
15(f), respectively. Please revise your disclosures accordingly. This comment also applies to your subs equent quarterly reports.
2. As a related matter, we note your disclosu re “this report on disclosure controls
and procedures and internal controls a nd procedures over financial reporting shall
not be deemed filed for purposes of Secti on 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934….” Please revise your disclosures to cl arify that this disclosure relates only
to management’s report on internal contro l over financial reporting. In this
regard, please note that the informati on required by Item 307 of Regulation S-B
must be filed, not furnished.
Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, and June 30, 2008
3. We note your proposed revisions in respons e to prior comments 5 and 6. Please
revise your disclosure to remove the paragraph regarding Section 18 liability of
the Exchange Act, since you did not provi de a report on internal controls over
financial reporting.
